2013 Map of Pinedale

About this map

Pinedale sits at the junction of several historic transport paths including Lord Valley Rd and Co Road 15, marking a transition between the northern valley floor and the elevated formations to the south. The landscape is defined by massive geographic features like Midget Mesa and the prominent Fallen Timber Ridge, which stretch across the central terrain. Water sources, vital in this arid environment, are documented by the Puerco River and the seasonal S Fork Puerco River, along with isolated points like Tumbity Spring. To the southwest, the settlement of Iyanbito is positioned near Indian Service Route 43, reflecting the organized network of service roads and rural routes such as Sunnyside Ranch Rd that connect these high-desert communities. The map highlights the complex relationship between the natural topography of Mesa Butte and the evolving infrastructure of the Eastern Navajo Agency.
